This is a splended idea to tell what you have seen.

I would like to know what spieces people see in their everydaylife in all over the world.

Not only the spieces which you have been dick out from the deepest forest and the thickest
bushes.

I would like to make the people understand thet what they see is only what they see. 

Rarity is a local pheomena, in most of the cases. 100 km to some direction from your location
and somebody might make quite different observations.

Reversed example:
Today I was working inside the building so I did'nt saw any butterflies. Only couple of 
beetles (not a band). Later on a way to my department I saw one P. napi.

O'kay not very interesting from my point of wiev, because Pieris napi is a superlative 
common here in Finland. But on the earth there is lot of people that has not even heard
about Pieris napi (a small white butterfly). And if they have heard about it they have not
saw it.

Also I have a curiosity to know what kind of moths you will get on a quite normal
night. Just a list of spieces is enough. My imagination will make the rest.

I think that exhange of information in form of text is better than exhange of living animals
or their juvenile stages. East-west movement of animals can cause a chaos in the different 
continent, like  Lymantria monacha (the black arches, in finnish "nunna"=the nun) which was
unfortunately and by accident brought to North America from Europe.

If someone can tell me more news from Lymantria monacha's situation today in America, please
do so. I'am pretty sure that it is a only spiece which people have wanted to exterminate
from America.  


Keep your (both)eyes open.
